| Video Discription | Although this area is out of bounds for our visiting public we thought we'd show you what our clock tower mechanism looks like. William Hartley (the jam manufacturer) funded the clock and bells (£1,133). The tower clock was made by William Potts & Sons, Leeds. Our bells chime at each quarter of the hour, known as a Westminster Quarter which consists of the notes E C D and G in various combinations. The Bells were cast by Taylor of Loughborough and each of the 5 bells is inscribed with a line from Tennyson’s ‘In Memoriam’ Ring out the old, Ring in the new, Ring out the false, Ring in the true, Ring in the Christ that is to be. Watch our other video which takes a closer look at the bells - https://youtu.be/70GfKzFEGpE |
